Advice - D&C

Anyone out there that has had a D&C? I have had a missed miscarriage and my body still thinks it's pregnant so I now need a D&C. I am scared because I don't know what to expect. How was the healing process after the D&C? Thanks for any advice out there

I also had a missed miscarriage, its crazy your body doesnt realize the baby is no longer living :( i had my d & c last monday, i was terrified and a complete mess. The first day i was mostly just sore and tired i had no bleeding the first few days and then it started after i stopped taking the medicine from my doctor. (Was causing really bad pain) i havent had cramps since saturday but still need a pad. I think its mentally worse then physically. I am sorry for your loss & wish you a quick recovery on the d & c.

I have had both a natural m/c (1st loss) and d&c use to mmc (2nd loss) and of the two, the d&c is far less traumatic and quicker for healing (physically). Emotionally it's devastating either way but I found that with the d&c the physical process of m/c was over quickly and my body bounced back beautifully. I haven't TTC since my second loss back in May (too sh*t scared this will happen again) but my dr gave me the all clear after my follow up appt two weeks later. GL to you and sorry for your loss x

I had a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks and was absolutely devastated so I know how you feel. I had the d&c because I could not pass a baby I was carrying for 3 months at home and the procedure was not bad at all. Physically I had moderate bleeding for a week and a half and the only pain I had was vaginal burning that stopped that same night. Emotionally it's been 3 weeks and I still find myself falling apart and trying to pick up the million pieces my heart is busted into. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope all goes smoothly with your procedure.

Thank you all for your replies and my thoughts are with each one of you that none of us will have to go through this again. This too is my 2nd mc, the 1st one was done naturally, but this time nothing seems to be happening hence the D&C. xx

I had a mmc as well, baby stopped growing at 5.5weeks and it took my body 5 weeks to miscarry naturally (I was terrified about having to have a D&C and doctor said it was okay to wait, but she said I should take the pill (cytotec) if it didnt happen until the day after xmas bc of the risks of infection. well, my mc started on Dec 26 exactly). I was sooo glad that it started naturally that i didn't even care about the cramps and blood. it hurted pretty bad for 1.5hs, but then it was all gone.
